Newberry we saw a lot of big rocks s on the side of the road, and part of [ one where it had been blasted out of ; the road.' We climbed up on one of i the biggest roc-ks on ths right hand ; side, ar.d right behind it saw a quarry. We went on, could not find the , fourh mile post so the next one we saw was the fifth. When we got ' about 1 mile from Jalapa we found an old wagon wheel with the rim ? broke, so we broke ofF two spokes to use as clubs. Turner knocked a vr>/?L* iir* infrv flip air. .ind then looked [ up to see where it went to, and it hit him in the face. Then we hid our l clubs in a cotton field until we came , back. When we got into Jahpa we . went in the store and got some can; dy, and then we \pent about a half - a mile up the track to some woods, > where we built a fire and started 5 cooking.

' LAST HONOR PAID GOLD MINE DEAD Even Crews Searching; for Missing Body Stop in Labors During Services Jackson, Calif., Sept. 22.?.-The 4G bodies recovered from the Argonaut mine were buried today. Ail other business and democratic activity of Jackson ccased. Even down in the depths of the mountain, the rescue crew searching for the 47th victim stopped its iaoors. Twenty-seven bodies were borne to the Roman Catholic church, eight to *V*/ * acf o r\ f or*/} 1 1 fir*OP 1.T t i i \J LVC tan i/ uiiu wv . V?A w?? Catholic church, in three separate corteges. The services at each church were an hour apart to permit the mourners to pay final honors to all. A ten piece band, playing dirges, headed each cortege. Over each grave was placed a wreath, the final tribute of Jackson. The graves were in long rows and on the front of them were provided benches for the many mourners. The relatives were taken to the churches and cemeteries in special conveyances. The fate of the missing victim, William Fessel, remained a great puzzle today, as it was when it was announced that his body could not be found in the 4,350 foot drift and cross cut, where the other bodies lay. Fessell, whose laconic message that . the gas was getting bad is the only record left by the entombed men, may have sought safety somewhere in the ventilator raise that extends from the 4.500 to the 3.900 foot levi rrii mi ? _ * _A ji 11 ei. mis win oe expiorea inorougniy. i The search for Fessel will be conj tinued until he has been found or un| til it is determined that he has beeji lost beyond recovery, it was announced todry by E.

There is no doubt, they said today, that Fessel is dead.

In the series of articles Mr. James discloses the extent of profiteering during the war and in the period of liquidation fol, lowing it and gives some outstanding and outrageous examples. In the is, sue of Sept. 22, he cites the following as "Sample Problems from a Profiteer's Arithmetic" (with solu. tions): j A manufacturer had two contracts for the same product. In one he was to use govrenment material, in the other his own. j He used government material in both, pocketing the difference of $700,000. A contractor purchasing supplies |and delivering them on his own contracts with the government'was re' ^ ^ A /lAvf IfiooffiC ! jmuurseu Uli IIIC Ucirsid U1 . made by a government inspector at ; the point of purchase.

' j The contractor roiled the copper int6 sheets and punched out the circular bands like doughnuts. In this < way each sheet yielded more scrap iron than it did metal for the shell bands. ! Our sixteen national army cantonments cost $206,000,000; experts say they should have cost $128,000,000. We* spent $827,"450,000 for American-made shell?and fired 20,000 in battle. Altogether to outfit our , war time army.-we spent $15,000,000,000 worth of public funds?your taxes. What became of it?' You will find James' articles enlightening along this line. Read them.
